Eapont And Dathan Fairly Easy One
1,342 wordsThe pleading breaths and throbbing heart of the man echoed through the tangibly silent darkness of the crisp midnight air. A shot rang out as he collapsed and struggled to breathe through the warm liquids that filled his severed esophagus. Suffocation overcame him while two more equally fatal shots were delivered into his chest and spinal column. Three pale gray uniforms emerged from their assigned sentinels and, without any disgust or remorse, carried his limp murdered body down through a stair...

Robert Aldrich Kiss Robert Aldrich Kiss Me Deadly Hammer
604 wordsRobert Aldrich's Kiss Me Deadly came near the end of the golden age of film noir, but its so fundamentally wrapped up in the definitions of the genre that its no wonder that the French film critics that initially coined that term responded to it as much as they did. You can feel the fingerprints of this film all over the early masterpieces of the French New Wave (particularly Breathless, which seems to draw much of its creative breath from here). The energy that this movie sends off is so radioa...

1,222 wordsFantasy paper/Science Fiction Perhaps no theme has so attracted the febrile imaginings of postmodern scholars as the creations - and the technological culture - of cyberpunk literature. Cyberpunk science fiction is the apotheosis of post-modernism, in one assessment, dystopian anticipation, in the lights of another, and the only art systematically dealing with the most crucial political, philosophical, moral, and cultural issues of our day, as envisioned by a third. (Schroeder, 331). For such fe...

Church And State Massachusetts Bay
1,465 wordsNew and Old Testaments Society has always had its theocrat's, but the conflict between the Old and New Testaments has simply rendered the Bible too dim and doubtful to allow them to gain as much traction as their Muslim counterparts have been able to derive from the Quran. American Christians, in other words, are a lot like Arab Muslims, save for the accident of scripture. And until they take the ramifications of that accident fully into account, U. S. foreign policy will remain unrealistic. Num...

Character Analysis Of Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome
995 wordsCharacter Analysis of Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome From beginning of the eighties and up until our days, there are more and more apocalyptical motives can be found in science fiction movies. The movie critics used to explain this by the fact that there used to be a lot of tension between USA and Soviet Union at the time, so people instinctively tried to imagine the worst possible future scenarios.

Find This Play Beckett Endgame God
682 wordsAs stated by Cohn in her article Endgame': The Gospel According to Sad Sam Beckett there is much evidence given relating to the many comparable instances between the Bible and Beckett's Endgame. With this interpretation as well as the discussion about the significance of the title, and the constant reference to the end of the world, it is nearly impossible to see Beckett's Endgame as anything other than a post-apocalyptic tale. I found particularly interesting Cohn's relation to Beckett's Hamm a...

1,414 wordsProducing Marisol Marisol, a play written by Jose Rivera, is the play I enjoyed reading the most this semester. Rivera, one of the leading contemporary Latin American playwrights, writes with an image. After reading Marisol, I came away with a very specific picture of what Rivera had in mind.

In the independent religion, two elements of its doctrine are essentially Jewish. First, Jesus is the messiah, or anointed king, who is spoken of in Jewish prophetic writings. Second, the mess...
